Spring Vegetable Carbonara

Spring Vegetable Carbonara RecipeThe self-proclaimed “King of Carbonara,” Tom Cruise, introduced Oprah to his version of the beloved pasta dish. Serve a low-cal version loaded with veggies that even Dr. Oz could approve of for a spring supper. It’s so delicious, you may find yourself, well, jumping (on the couch) for joy!

Bacon-Peanut Truffles

Bacon-Peanut Truffles RecipeAny friend of Oprah’s can be a friend of ours, especially when her favorite indulgences include peanut butter and bacon. While we assume Gayle dives into these dishes on separate occasions, she should know she doesn’t have to. Bacon-Peanut Truffles combine the all that amazing salty, savory goodness with a dose of heavenly bittersweet chocolate. Better double this recipe.

If you don’t have time to wait for overnight shipping, try our rich and creamy version. This baked dish combines three types of cheese with a secret ingredient: smoked ham.

Prosciutto, Fontina, and Fig Panini

Prosciutto, Fontina, and Fig Panini RecipeOprah revealed that the “staple” of her house is a panini press, on which she can make her famous Love Sandwich. Use your panini press or indoor grill to make the Prosciutto, Fontina, and Fig Panini. The rich, sweet fig preserves set off the salty prosciutto perfectly, creating a sandwich that even Stedman would love.

Greek Turkey Burger

Greek Turkey Burger RecipeHailed as the “best turkey burger” she’d ever had in her life, the Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burger is now served at several of Donald Trump’s eateries across the country and remains the most popular recipe in the Oprah show’s history. While Oprah’s version features apple slices, we prefer the flavors of Greece, including feta cheese, red onion, and oregano.

Just one glimpse of this decadent Key Lime pie had us craving a slice of our own version, which calls for six simple ingredients. It serves 6 to 8, but we’d make an extra pie, just in case.
